On Social Sanctions and Beliefs: A Pollution Norm Example A prevailing view in the literature is that social sanctions can support, in equilibrium, high levels of obedience to a costly norm. The reason is that social disapproval and stigmatization faced by the disobedient are highest when disobedience is the exception rather than the rule in society.

• china eeu sweden rff usa | Climate change A fair share: Burden-sharing preferences in the United States and China Using a sequential discrete choice experiment, we investigate preferences for distributing the economic burden of reducing CO 2 emissions in the two largest CO 2-emitting countries: the United States and China. We asked respondents about their preferences for four burden-sharing rules to reduce CO 2 emissions according to their country's relative (1) historical emissions, (2) income level, (3) emissions per capita, and (4) current emissions.

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the impact of climate change on agriculture in a typical developing country. The economic implications of climate change are estimated by using both a farm productivity and a Ricardian framework.
